Knocker: “Party For One” by Carly Rae Jepsen

“Party for One” is an upbeat anthem by Canadian pop-star Carly Rae Jepsen. It is about self-love. Carly said it’s a song to remind everyone to celebrate time with yourself because it is a hard thing for people to really enjoy sometimes.

The third track off 5 Seconds of Summer’s latest album, “Lie to Me” is a song about a romantic relationship in which both partners see it differently. Ashton Irwin (drummer and vocalist of 5SOS) said the song refers to that situation where you’re in a relationship and the other person is in it for reasons that you aren’t. “When your love doesn’t line up.” A remix of the song features guest vocals by Julia Michaels.

On “Undecided”, Chris Brown is undecided about a relationship with a girl. His girl is ready for commitment and wants to be “wifed,” whereas Chris is unsure whether he wants to pursue a relationship with her, or keep things strictly sexual.

Debut: “Close to Me” by Ellie Goulding & Diplo feat. Swae Lee

On this song, Ellie Goulding and Swae Lee duet about their partners who fuel their fire and how wild they are with them.
